Full Biography (Back to top)

Strikingly beautiful lead whose leonine hair, dark piercing eyes and mixed lineage (half Indian, half English) enhance her playing of sultry exotic parts. Choudhury (pronounced CHOW-dur-y) made an impressive debut as the shy Indian woman who has an affair with Denzel Washington in Mira Nair's often touching "Mississippi Masala" (1991). Previously she had worked for Cinecitta (Italian for "film city") film studios in various production capacities, edited the Italian section of Fodor's travel guides and worked as a model in London. Choudhury co-starred as the singer of an English/Pakistani C&W band in the offbeat English comedy "Wild West" (1992). She lied about her singing abilities to get the part; the songs were later dubbed by singer Rebecca Price.
